I was watching Gunsmoke today with Marshall Matt Dillon and there was a segment with a bad guy who was playing poker. He had just got a pair of 3’s up and made a bet…$20 St Gaudens! Sorry the photo isn’t better but you can see it….

    Is that the episode where the bad guy kills his own brother and takes the coins he has hidden in the sugar jar?

    Isn't that incorrect? It's supposed to be the 1870s.

    I thought Gunsmoke took place before 1907 when the Liberty double eagle was still in circulation.

    Recently watched the Netflix show Turn: Washington’s Spies, cool series. Obviously it takes place during our Revolution. One early episode had contrails in the sky during one of the scenes.

    Cointrails in the sky?

    There are many period anomalies in TV shows.... coins, equipment, backdrops inadvertently filmed, etc.. Cheers, RickO

    Festus.. sure had the sayin's! One that stuck with me was something like " why Matt you, he's crookeder'n a hound dog's hind leg ".....

    Not all things in Gunsmoke made sense. Supposedly in Dodge City; but then there were episodes where there were mountains, mines, etc... so not surprised that some of the money or gold coins don't quite match up with the time period. But still a great show and brings back many memories.

    Joined a dinner with Ken Curtis (Festus) during a production of Paint Your Wagon. Everyone warned me not to call him "Festus". Said he would take my head off - actors are evidently sensitive about being typecast.

    Cool thread!

    Word of note;

    James Arness' brother was Peter Graves!
    Another famous actor. "Stalag 17" was one of his most famous movies.
    Mission Impossible...

    Tons of westerns. He was also a singer in his early career, Can't remember if he had a singing role in Paint Your Wagon. Roy Clark played Ben Rumson (also at dinner, a really super guy).

    Ken didn't sound or talk at all like the Festus character. Perhaps that was the embarrassment.
